How many vietnamense buds in the picture?

[Bjorn]

This time I'll update on the vietnamense that I have told you about before, a short recap:
flasks received March 2012, planted in flats and plants potted up one year ago, in January 2013. How many buds do you see?

 

[Dido]

[Bjorn]

7 plus on flower, could also be one right in the back hard to tell if its a low bud

 

[Ozpaph]

flowering in 20 months! wow.

Close but not the number

I think you're right Rick, should be 9. No I am not going commercial, although have some attempts to get rid of surplus here in Norway. Unfortunately the market for these things here is close to none so guess I will keep most of them myself. I have some 40-50 plants in total i recon so 10 flowers after 20 months should be a good speed

The answer is: LOTS!

 

[Dido]

I should start corsiing them.
Mine blasted and my viet X hang too.
This is so unfair.

Good job on some stellar growing. I thought I was good having 2 out of three in bud and now you show me this. It's so unfair, but at least mine haven't blasted yet.

I counted nine including the one flower almost open. I love the way you
show-off, Bjorn! I wish there was a way: I'd buy several of them.

Thanks, (Angela was it?). If I could, You should have got one I grow them in a mix that is made almost entirely of marble chips. Obviously that is what they want.

Interesting information tidbit. Congratulations on your excellent growing!

 

[MorandiWine]

Wow! That is great!
Using marble chips is a great idea. Going to have to experiment with that.

Bjorn, do you grow them in warm temperature? Intermediate?

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Bjorn, if you are growing them in a mixture that contains mostly marble chips, how often are you watering? Quite often I would suspect.

 

[abax]

Angela it is, Bjorn. Marble chips is an interesting way to grow them. I
use Orchiata and hydroton on most Paphs. and it seems to suit my greenhouse conditions. Is marble a neutral medium?

 

[annab]

great achievement ,if your mix is only marble what humidity level you have in the grow area? I think considerable high.

WOW! Very impressive. With using almost just marble chips, you must water very often.
